That's a fantastic project and very much in line with my ideas (just watching Lost and all :D)!

Great choice of vehicles as well,out of curiosity, were they scratchbuild or computer drawn?

The vehicles came from Ian Crouch who wouldn't know how to plug in a computer, much less use one  ;)

I love the vehicles,especially the VeeDub van. I owned three campers,71,74 and 85. Remember,they leak oil,no heater worth a darn till the 'Wasser Boxer",engine,no speed difference w/three or four cylinders55mph or 88km's. The camper top will extend up on the highway w/ wind coming thru the windows if one of the top latches are loose. It is hard to shift in the cold till the car warms up.which in the winter is never. However never gets stuck,w/ mud and snow tires on the rear,lots of room ,and when the celenoid goes out in Wyoming,it will work in high cool altitude and pushstart in the lower altitudes. God I miss those vans. Great job on the vehicles.

The first finished greens....plenty more to follow.  Intentionally basic poses, as future greens will be converted, more kit, weapons etc.

I will have the greens early next week and will dig out an empress mini to take a comparison photo  ;)

These figures are very good; I like a lot all of them, unarmed civilians at last. Beside the comparison with Empress, is it possible to know how they are near Haslefree figures?

I think the guy with the can of cola (or beer) would look awesome with a bandolier across with chest and an AK across his back.

Rest assured I will do some photos with Empress, Hasslefree, Crooked Dice, TAG and any other modern minis I have to hand   ;)

Always a possibility - as I mentioned the first greens are intentionally unarmed to make it easier to convert/gear up.
